7. What is the evaluation scoring criteria and weighting?
Q7 Answer: All responsive quotes will be assigned a weighted cost score, based on the ratio of
the lowest cost quote versus the cost of each higher priced quote. A quote twice as expensive as
the lowest cost quote will earn half the total available points. Percentages and points will be
rounded to the nearest whole value. The formula is:
Weighted Cost Score = (price of lowest quote/price of each higher priced quote) X (points
possible).
Annual Cost Points Available: 1,000
Full 6-Year Term Cost Points Available: 5,000
Total Points Available: 6,000
The above information has also been added to Amendment 1 of this RFQ.
8. Is this an RFP or and RFQ? Both RFP and RFQ are referenced in the document.
Q8 Answer: This is a Request for Quotes (RFQ); references to proposal were included in error,
and have been corrected within Amendment 1 of this RFQ.
